Can a cheap car project bought on Gumtree actually run? I bought a £600 car to find out if it is a bargain or a total waste.
This video follows the journey of buying a car on Gumtree and getting it delivered to start a new budget car build. We inspect the bodywork and go over the exact reasons why I decided to take a gamble on this specific vehicle.
After the delivery, the real work begins. We focus on diagnosing the issues, starting with a simple car battery replacement. The goal is to see if we can get the engine turning over based on the seller's initial description. This process highlights the reality of cheap car restoration and the hurdles you face when buying a car sight-unseen.
Whether you are looking to start your own non-starting car repair project or just want to see if this £600 gamble pays off, watch along to see the first steps of the process.
Subscribe for weekly budget car build updates, and let me know in the comments if you think this car will ever be roadworthy.
